Bickett-Rate Historical Preserve Barn, 600-225th Street, Tipton (Cedar County) – Just off Cnty X40, Buchanan, south of Cnty F28, west of Tipton.
The restoration of the barn was completed in August 2020. This red painted barn near the unincorporated village of Buchanan, was built in 1922 near the historic Hannah Morse Fowler Hall House. From 1891-1995, the site operated as an agriculture co-op. The gabled barn has centrally located sliding door access on both the north & south elevations. The barn includes a passage door access for the farmer on both east ends of the north & south sides and a smaller hinged passage door access for livestock on each corner of the barn’s south side. A central driveway provides access to the interior for the storage of hay, grain, and machinery.
